Why remake the original
Why remake the original in a way that's more appealing to kids is pretty telling and it's actually entertaining. If you like a slower paced movie, you'll enjoy this one, but if you're looking for a start, this movie is a waste of time.
Why remake the original  it doesn't work  because it doesn't add anything new  and because they didn't even try to make a remake of the original  and I don't think that they should have done it.
